	... can buy oxalic acid at woodworking supply places, which is sometimes sold as "wood bleach". It is a stronger concentration so you might need to work out how much to dilute it in order to avoid bleaching the natural color of the wood. I have never used straight oxalic acid myself.

	Murphy's Oil Soap straight up... Murphy's Oil Soap straight up works very well on nicotine and just general dirt and grime. Do not dilute. And rinse it off thoroughly, then dry even more thoroughly.

	. Really bad use of English, dilute to make arid! I did have a hangover if thats any excuse. If you look on the last three pages of posts you can see that if they were to be divided up into sections there would be one large forum and a few other sparse ones, it wouldn't look good and you'd effectively have to click onto 3 or 4 separate forums. I'm interested in everything from fabrics to wood machining and like to see all of those different aspects at once. There is often a crossover if one particular piece is being discussed. Some threads change a lot ove ...
	Assuming it's vintage fabric	1 Relevance	18 years ago	barrympls	General discussion
	Assuming it's vintage fabric it's probably wool, so you might try mixing a bit of paint thinner and water and dab it on the paint. This hopefully will losen up the paint so you can carefully pick it off. Dilute the thinner...it's worth a try.
	Great Find	1 Relevance	18 years ago	bustelo	General discussion
	Great Find Cleaning wood is mostly common sense. I use a firm bristle brush and mild detergent which I may dilute depending on the amount of built up residue. I warn you the process is dirty and splatters residue everywhere so work outside or use many drop-cloths. Dry the pieces thoroughly with a towel after cleaning. For general maintenance I apply lemon oil to keep the wood moist twice or three times a year depending on humidity. Many people use wax, but I leave the surface natural and unsealed. I live in a humid environment and prefer to allow the wood to ...

	... from the collision of two impinging jets with radius of 420um. The rapid flash illumination reveals a fish-like formation for dilute polymer fluids: the oval sheet with rims corresponds to the fish head, drops on thin ligaments to its body, and bigger free drops at the end to its tail. The viscoelasticity of the polymer in the fluid resists detachment of the drops from the ligament. This image was adjusted for hue and contrast, and rotated by 90 degrees for effect." However it is VERY small - the radius of each jet is less than half a millimetre (and for t ...
	I stand corrected, LRF	1 Relevance	19 years ago	room606	General discussion
	I stand corrected, LRF We are so terribly and painfully slow on this side of the pond - veritable slugs in the global ecosystem; safe, senseless and satisfied... Yet we have so much time and energy to post 100s of meandering and topicless threads to dilute the value of internet content forum. And that, my brother, is the American way. That, and an absolute commitment to wrong thinking. Forgive me from swerving from those core values, even if just for an instant. PS The rooms below and aside are vacant as they are overpriced in this market.

	... and Knoll, et al are going to milk these old designs for all they are worth and while they are doing it they are going to be signing up new designers who embellish it rather than advance it. I think they are fine companies, but they are never going kill the goose that lays the golden egg, and what's more, they are going to market and promote in ways that perpetuate the furniture legacies they control, have long since recovered the cost of designing the furniture for, and are now simply promoting the heck out of to keep the show on Broadway another season so ...
	Way late on this topic...	1 Relevance	20 years ago	jenkinshouse	General discussion
	... I do now, and that is a part of the attraction I have to it. I see it as art. I see my house as art. If I don't know the whole story then I use my imagination. New furniture just becomes used furniture the minute it's delivered. I am not for replicas generally, but I do admit I have some Eurway "Series 7" knockoffs around my Knoll Partner's Table and a Modernica case study bed. Of course, if I were to run across a vintage bed frame that I loved I would probably buy it. Just a funny related story. A man recently delivered something to my house and told ...
	Soap finish for wood	1 Relevance	22 years ago	Annette.sco	General discussion
	Soap finish for wood I've used a scandinavian soap finish for wooden floors. It was very successful, since the colour of the wood hardly changed; cleaning needs just a mop with a dilute solution of the special soap Presumably it would be OK for wooden furniture too. The reference for the English site is http://www.danecare.co.uk/ The only smell is wet wood!
	RE: Restore Eames Aluminium Group Chair / Base	1 Relevance	7 years ago	tktoo2	Repair
	To clarify my previous post, polishing the aluminum bits is easily accomplished with nothing more than an appropriate polishing compound and old-fashion elbow grease. However, as a long-time Eames fan, I think your chairs look pretty great as pictured. If they were mine, a good rubdown with a soft cloth and a dilute solution of mild dish detergent and water is all they'd ever see. Welcome to the forum.
	RE: Restore Eames Aluminium Group Chair / Base	1 Relevance	7 years ago	comforum000	Repair
	To clarify my preceding put up, polishing the aluminum bits is effortlessly completed with not anything extra than the ideal polishing compound and antique-style elbow grease. However, as an extended-time Eames fan, I think your chairs look pretty exceptional as pictured you can see here. If they had been mine, an excellent rubdown with a soft material and a dilute answer of mild dish detergent and water is all they'd ever see.
	Venetian Plaster	1 Relevance	21 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	Venetian Plaster It's gorgeous and very expensive. A friend's sister has a business doing it and I've seen her apply it. It's not easy to do and it takes a practiced hand. I know that there are 'faux' versions of it out there for the diY person, though. However, you might do better to layer glazing to get the luminous look you're after. I'd recommend doing a vanilla or buttery white to balance all that redish dark wood. A grey-white would look harsh. Base coat would be the lightest shade, then layer with 1/2 glaze 1/2 paint in two successive shades using a d ...

	... know what the labour conditions are like and weré pretty unlikely to, can we trust Ikea to do the right thing here? Theyré so committed to low price that the quality is appaling, they probabaly dilute the glue with cornflour to bring costs down and what veneers are they using? Harvested in China no doubt to worlds best practice? So a consumer who is trying to do the right thing buys one of these products and I think is being told a very subtle lie. I'm not in the mood for any sort of defamation case from Ikea so if anyone can prove me wrong about their prot ...
